West Buncombe Dual Language staff and students had a great day celebrating Hispanic Culture through games and collaboration @ParticipateLrng #UnitingOurWorld facebook.com/share/p/17hhof…?

Ms. Lili’s and Ms. Diana’s Kindergarten class learned about The Day of the Death, created an Altar, and shared their knowledge with other clases. A prime example of #UnitingOurWorld @ParticipateLrng @mslilydlteacher

Full day of teaching, learning and collaboration with the DL @ParticipateLrng Ambassador Teachers from @dcsnc and @LCSJackets. It’s an honor to work with these amazing educators #UnitingOurWorld

Earlier this week I had the pleasure to visit Pickett Elementary and join the staff and students in Celebrating their Cultural Diversity! Dances, poems, presentations and a living museum for National Hispanic Heritage Month! @ParticipateLrng #UnitingOurWorld @LCSJackets

I checked on all our @BuncombeSchools including our @ParticipateLrng Ambassador Teachers. Some were able to respond. They don’t have power nor internet. Some found a way to communicate with their families. Please continue to keep them in your thoughts #UnitingOurWorld

We are ONE WEEK away‼️ You won’t want to miss this engaging presentation at the 9th International Conference on Immersion and #DualLanguage Education! ✨ @CarlaFBalles, @LauraMaCartney8, @JudyOuyang, @randysaenz, and @IreneZamoraSoto #UnitingOurWorld @L2TReC @ParticipateLrng

What a great visit from one of our new @ParticipateLrng partners @mcps_va to an existing partner @BuncombeSchools. Our DLI Ambassador Teachers shined as always! They saw best practices, student engagement, and great leadership.#UnitingOurWorld

What happens when you bring @BuncombeSchools 35+ DL educators together?? They collaborate, envision, plan and keep each other accountable. Impressive! @ParticipateLrng #UnitingOurWorld

Next @BuncombeSchools stop was at Candler. Kudos to our Ambassador Teachers for engaging students in relevant and rigorous lessons @ParticipateLrng #UnitingOurWorld

What a wonderful way to begin my visit @BuncombeSchools this week. Ms. Herrera’s class is ready to learn and collaborate. ❤️ seeing her students cherish their personalized random positive notes! @ParticipateLrng #UnitingOurWorld

Una reunión familiar y GRANDE! Today was soul-filling as the @ParticipateLrng Team reconnected with so many ardent advocates at the @LatinxEducation Latine Ed Summit! So excited for the collective and collaborative power in this room- AQUÍ Y AHORA! #UnitingOurWorld 🌎

So lucky to have amazing collaboration opportunities with the dual language Principals @RCS_NC Working together to support and help our @ParticipateLrng Ambassador Teachers grow and lead.
